I think you are right about OU being the impetus for this move. If you look, OU has been making very public statements about how the B12’s actions have been financially (recruiting, TV times etc) detrimental to OU. This sets up nicely for them to argue breach of fiduciary duty in order to get out of the contract. I would say Texas saw what was going on and decided to get involved….as much as I dislike Texas, their lawyers aren’t stupid.

Witb the curent admins and ADs at both schools, I bet it was just a mutual agreement to move out of the Big 12 and then they weighed options and decided on the SEC. This is not the old days of DeLoss Dodds at Texas where everything was "We're Texas" and "We'll change the world." The 2 schools have a pretty good partnership now that they don't want to lose.

The rumors that the BIG would not take OU and then Texas told them to pound sand may be true. The BIG wants schools that are members of AAU and OU is not. The BIG can raid the PAC and get all the AAU members they want so in reality they don't desparately need Texas and OU but were stupid to turn them down if all the rumors are true...
